Re: FLASH: The model agency thing

[Samir]

Hey Lena,


You are pretty much right about the model's looks and professionality and I

do agree that the location / clothing did not support their major budget. I

have had a similar feeling about this since the time he said to keep the

names a "secret" and did not mention his own / clients details. Even I feel

the same that he has nothing to do with any beuru; I feel he is an artist

looking for "inspiration" in creating the material he is claiming to

freelance out. Especially if u read his other "design-tip" mail which was

quite pathetic!


Samir,
